After dominating the first four and a half games of their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, the last six quarters have been disastrous for the Boston Celtics . They've been outscored by 36 points, going cold offensively while struggling to contain Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Paul George.
The Celtics' offense has been particularly concerning . After ending Game 5 in a horrendous shooting slump , those struggles carried over into Game 6. In three of the six games this series, Boston's offense has scored fewer than 100 points.
